作者介紹
作者介紹 George Caffentzis is an activist and Marxist scholar from Brooklyn, New York. His life has been devoted to analyzing and confronting the mechanisms of capital, from the anti-nuclear movement in the 1970s, student struggles in Nigeria in the 1980s, to the Zapatistas in Mexico in the 1990s, to the streets of Manhattan and the Occupy movement in the 2000s, and beyond. Caffentzis' work on the philosophy of money, the IMF and the World Bank, machines, work, and the ever-present energy crisis, was solidified as a founding member of the Midnight Notes Collective and continued in his books In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work, Machines, and the Crisis of Capitalism and No Blood for Oil: Essays on Energy, Class Struggle and War, among others. He is also the author of an academic trilogy on the philosophies of Locke, Berkeley, and Hume. At the Edge of Everything is his first published book of poems spanning his youth in New York and Greece, life in Nigeria, struggles and travels across the globe, to the present day.
